Are you an adventure sports enthusiast, who loves surfing on the high waves of the tumultuous sea? It might not be possible for you to be present on the beach every weekend. If you are a Londoner, then wait only for three more years to see your dreams become a reality in sometime in 2011. The surfers and curious onlookers will flock to east London to surf on the waves of the world’s first outdoor surfing machine.
Skiing on indoor ice replicating the Alpine slopes, have become a passe with even shopping malls sporting one these days. The new attraction now lies on replicating the sea with artificial waves. The ₤20 million Venture Xtreme project will come up on an abandoned dock at Silvertown Quays in east London. There will be a complete seaside ambiance with an artificial beach dotted with palm trees, boardwalks, and even barbecues. It will cost ₤30 for an hour of riding on 10 waves. After all, this is the difference between surfing on the real waves and on artificial waves, with the former not allowing you to manipulate its swelling water. Cynics might find this artificial surfing a far cry from the real thing. But for the not so brave surfers, you are safe from the rocks and sharks of the sea.
